10 Craft Ideas to do With Jack-O'-Lantern Coloring Pages
Once you've filled those coloring pages with spooky hues, don't let them gather dust! Turn your colorful creations into these easy and affordable jack-o'-lantern crafts.
1. Jack-o'-Lantern Garland
Cut out several of your vibrant, colored jack-o'-lanterns. Punch a hole near the top of each, then thread them onto a piece of yarn or ribbon. Hang your festive garland across a wall, doorway, or mantel for instant Halloween cheer.
2. Spooky Window Suncatchers
Carefully cut out your finished jack-o'-lanterns, then sandwich them between two sheets of clear contact paper. Trim around the edges, leaving a small border. Stick your luminous creations onto windows to catch the light and cast a cheerful glow.
3. Stand-Up Jack-o'-Lantern Display
Glue a single, detailed colored jack-o'-lantern onto a sturdy piece of cardboard or poster board for support. Create a simple stand by folding a strip of cardboard into a triangle and gluing it to the back. Your jack-o'-lantern will then stand proudly on a shelf or desk.
4. Jack-o'-Lantern Treat Bags
Transform plain paper bags into festive treat holders! Cut out your colored jack-o'-lantern designs and glue them securely to the front of small brown or orange paper bags. These are perfect for collecting candy or giving out small party favors.
5. Pumpkin Patch Mobile
Cut out several jack-o'-lanterns of varying sizes from your pages. Attach a piece of string or yarn to the top of each with a little tape. Then, tie these strings at different lengths to two crisscrossed popsicle sticks to create a delightful, swaying mobile for your room.
6. “Glow-Face” Jar Lanterns
Carefully cut out just the *faces* – eyes, nose, and mouth – from your colored jack-o'-lanterns. Glue these spooky features onto the outside of a clean glass jar. Place an LED tea light inside for a safe, glowing effect that looks like a real lantern.
7. Wearable Jack-o'-Lantern Mask
Glue a large, colored jack-o'-lantern onto a sturdy paper plate or piece of construction paper. Cut out eye holes for visibility, and then attach elastic string to the sides or a popsicle stick handle to the bottom. Now you have a fun mask to wear!
8. Jack-o'-Lantern Bookmarks
Cut out smaller, more intricate jack-o'-lantern designs from your coloring pages. Glue them onto a strip of cardstock for added durability, then cover with clear contact paper or laminate. These make long-lasting, festive bookmarks for your favorite spooky stories.
9. Mini Pumpkin Patch Diorama
Use a shoebox lid or a small cardboard box as your diorama base. Cut out several colored jack-o'-lanterns and glue them to popsicle sticks or pipe cleaners. “Plant” them into a green construction paper base to create your own spooky miniature pumpkin patch scene.
10. Jack-o'-Lantern Wreath
Trace and cut out a donut shape from cardboard to use as your wreath base. Cut out many small to medium-sized colored jack-o'-lanterns from your pages. Overlap and glue these cutouts all around your cardboard ring until the base is completely covered, creating a vibrant Halloween wreath.
